Have a very gook look at the exhaust elbow they can rust badly and leak but not at idle - at least mine did and when i removed it for a look it was a small hole underneath.

Good to hear! Hope all well.

I would personally steer well clear, the amount of gear shifting used on outdrives with a joystick leaves my mechanical sympathy OCD screaming. It’s taken them several years with the outdrives system to get to the point that i feel its worth all the extraweight and complexity.

“BenMurphy said: This makes sense as my Hunter Horizon doesn't appear to ever have had a stern light fitted - so it would suggest that the previous owner has always sailed with the bow bi-light navs and the masthead all-rounder” Ah but this from the bow aspect will make you appear to be a motor...

Just before you decide not to carry flares, I would be slightly careful as most insurance company’s insist yay your vessel is correctly equipped and until informed by the Coastguard that any of these are a recognised alternative if they will try to wriggle on a claim yo hsbr given them a lovely...

Sounds a horrible night, been in the other marina in town in a full winters gale, they had emptied yours into it for that very reason. Hope all stays ok!

Targa 40’s are renowned for taking in water in through the air intakes especially if going head to wind. Is there any evidence of salty engines in general or just in the bilge? Early ones in particular often had badly corroded alternators. Lastly do you have the early type black whole lid screw...

I Skipper a Sq 58 a fair bit and we anchor a lot. We have 100m chain and a wacking 50kg anchor. It stays where i choose. ��

I just sold my twin engined AD41 engined boat over 5000 hours loved every minute. Just change the oil often - every 100 hours or 120 if pushed and they will be fine, like all old engines they have bits that give issues but the hours are minimal if they have been looked after.

They don’t all have anodes in the heat exchanger. Early ones and A,s did. Mine are later B,s and they don’t by design.

Ok so try taking the top off at 20 knots. The pressure from the water into the hull fitting is pleanty to sink you, I have had a lid fail on a 50 foot boat at speed, the bilge pumps had no chance whilst we were on the plane as the sea water filter lid was below the water line, we had at least 20...

Aqua fax normally have them in stock, they need to be the correct thickness as there is a fair bit of pressure at speed.
